[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson
In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be
passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before
the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated
in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to
pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes.
Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol
instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can
lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup
volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't
give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time
to raise an exception crap hits the fan.
Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge
case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to
pull the associated connection out of the passed value
if it's not a virConnect instance.
Thanks,
Cole

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori
Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd
people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-)
I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt.
vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon
so it's a good time to start this discussion.
There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The
first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is
behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today.
Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel
instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement.
Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already
open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net,
libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net
vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to
provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost
when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later
makes sense.
The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the
vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this
mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current
implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's
reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net
tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest.
On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so
this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV
adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many
virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The
biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by
reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at
startup time.
I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this
second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to
<source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the
network parameter, you could probably do something like <source
network='eth0'> and have it Just Work.
Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a
network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering
how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model.
Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be
modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for
-net syntax?

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Multiple problems with saving to block devices
by Daniel P. Berrange
This patch series makes it possible to save to a block device,
instead of a plain file. There were multiple problems
- WHen save failed, we might de-reference a NULL pointer
- When save failed, we unlinked the device node !!
- The approach of using >> to append, doesn't work with block devices
- CGroups was blocking QEMU access to the block device when enabled
One remaining problem is not in libvirt, but rather QEMU. The QEMU
exec: based migration often fails to detect failure of the command
and will thus hang forever attempting a migration that'll never
succeed! Fortunately you can now work around this in libvirt using
the virsh domjobabort command

[libvirt] [PATCHv4 00/51] another round of snapshot patches
by Eric Blake
I think I've addressed most findings from round 3 - by implementing
the ability to redefine a snapshot, it becomes possible to restore
snapshot hierarchy when recreating a transient domain by the same
name. New goodies in this round: several bug fixes, add virsh
snapshot-edit, drop undefine --snapshots-full (you can only remove
snapshot metadata on undefine). I tested as I went, but this went
through so many rebases that there may be some nasties that snuck
in; but I wanted to get this posted now. I also know that I'm
missing at least one major feature requested in the v3 review:
namely, transient domains _should_ auto-remove snapshot metadata
files when they halt, but right now aren't doing that.
v3 was at:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg01132.html
Also available here:
git fetch git://repo.or.cz/libvirt/ericb.git snapshot
or browse online at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/libvirt/ericb.git/shortlog/refs/heads/snapshot

[libvirt] [Patch v2] vmware: detect when a domain was shut down from the inside
by Jean-Baptiste Rouault
This patch adds an internal function vmwareUpdateVMStatus to
update the real state of the domain. This function is used in
various places in the driver, in particular to detect when
the domain has been shut down by the user with the "halt"
command.
---
v2:
- Replace internal function vmwareGetVMStatus by vmwareUpdateVMStatus
- Improve vmrun list output parsing
- variable initialization and coding-style fixes

[libvirt] Potential deadlock in libvirt lxc driver
by Thomas Hunger
Hi,
I'm running version 0.9.10 on debian [1]. When starting and stopping
containers I see deadlocks every so often. I attached a full backtrace
(see at the end of the log). This seems to happen in conditions
similar to the segfault I wrote about recently. I.e. usually when
destroying domains.
I'm unsure why but it seems to me that lxcMonitorEvent gets called
after a vm has been freed. This happens despite
lxcVmCleanup calling "virEventRemoveHandle(priv->monitorWatch);" to
remove the handle.
best,
Tom

<cpu id="5"/>
<cpu id="6"/>
<cpu id="7"/>
</cpus>
</cell>
</cells>
</topology>
Note, it is reporting sockets=1, because sockets is the number of sockets
*per* NUMA node.
Now I try to figure the guest to match the host using:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/>
<numa>
<cell cpus='0-3' memory='512000'/>
<cell cpus='4-7' memory='512000'/>
</numa>
</cpu>
And I get:
error: Maximum CPUs greater than topology limit
So, the XML checker is mistaking 'sockets' as the total number of sockets,
rather than the per-node socket count. We need to fix this bogus check
